According to Kantar Worldpanel, 2.7m households in the UK currently own an Amazon Echo or Google Home device. Across the pond, usage is also on the up, with 55% of US households predicted to own one of these devices by 2020.<\/p>\n

Many brands have responded to this by creating a service or skill that solves a specific need. For example, Domino\u2019s Pizza has developed a skill so that customers can order pizza via voice.
